About Us

Hello my name's Dan.

I run this crazy little climbing gear site; It's all about unique, fun or hard-to-find climbing gear.

It started in 2013 when my girlfriend and I were chatting one evening about how expensive belay glasses were. She challenged me to make a pair of belay glasses for her, and that was the start of Blicard's first product, Belay Shades Belay Glasses.

Our second product was based on our personal desire for a lightweight stick clip that didn’t take up weight and space in our climbing bags. The result was the Clip Stick Trekking Pole, and there’s nothing else quite like it.

Blicard.com now sells a small, curated selection of climbing gear and I'm continually hunting for the coolest and the best climbing products. We’re also distributors for the Czech brand Ocun.

If you have any questions, product requests, wholesale inquiries, or just want to say hi, drop us a note anytime!

Happy climbing,

Dan
